Four tiny puppies were brought to a local PetSmart near Corona, California. The man who brought them said he found them on his property and wasn't able to catch the mom. He handed the four furry bundles of joy inside a beer box. Foster mom, Andrea from 2nd Chances Rescue took the scared and shaking pups home with her. The pups were fed, given a warm bed and a safe place to sleep but even with all that, something was missing in their lives. At Andrea's home, she also rescued a Sulcata <a href=" https://rumble.com/v3rvkf-bossy-tortoise-chases-away-two-pet-bulldogs.html " target="_blank">tortoise</a> named Goliath. For the most part, Goliath was alone.The other dogs and puppies that went through Andrea's home largely ignored the eighty pound, lumbering giant, but this time was different. One day when Andrea came home to take care of the pups, she realized that one of them was missing. She looked all over her house and backyard fearing one of them may have gotten out or lost or snatched. What she found instead were the <a href=" https://rumble.com/v2ziyl-monkey-with-his-new-puppies.html " target="_blank">puppies</a> inside tortoise's hutch, snuggling with Goliath.The giant tortoise didn’t mind the company of the happy dogs, in fact he was thrilled by their friendship and they helped him fight his loneliness. These orphaned pups needed someone big and strong to protect them and replace the mother figure in their life. So, they found a protector in an eighty pound Sulcata tortoise named Goliath. Since that day, the pups and their great big friend have been doing everything together. The pups were happier knowing they were safe with Goliath - and Goliath? Well, he came out of his shell.

These 10 animal rescuers may have saved hundreds of street dogs but they also inspired villagers, businesses and the municipality to make a difference too. That's what I call true heroes! #adoptdontshop #rescue ✿ Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss a single PAWsitive story! ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Full Story: In Ankara, Turkey adoption rates are low. People prefer to buy dogs instead of adopting them. (Çiğdemin Patileri is a Facebook page that posts about street animals in the Çiğdem neighborhood.) The make shift rescue, created by a group of people with a shared passion for animals is only 10 people. But these 10 people take care of 300 dogs and cats on a daily basis. They are feeding them, providing medical attention, sterilization, trying to find homes, even going to schools to educate students about animal rescue and welfare. They are working to make a difference in the community. They are fighting to be heard. And they have been heard. Their work has received attention as local businesses and the municipality have donated their time and efforts in creating shelters for dogs and cats. Locals are taking to helping with feeding the strays too but the group is committed to making sure every last dog in Turkey finds a home. Burcu, one of the rescuers, believes their greatest need is for a clear infrastructure when it comes to strays that just end up on the streets or in the overcrowded shelters. They also more assistance, especially with regards to spaying or neutering in their neighborhood. ✿ Follow PAWsitive on our socials: Subscribe ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Facebook ➔ http://bit.ly/PawsitiveFacebook Twitter ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveTwitter Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/pawsitivechannel/ ✿ See how you can help Burcu save more cats like Leo by emailing her here: bh.burcu@gmail.com ✿ Follow Burcu and her rescue Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/CigdeminPatileri/ ✿ Crew http://www.memetics.tv/ ✿ Music Purchased through Premium Beat - https://www.premiumbeat.com/

When Darla, a large Great Dane, came to Adoptadane Rescue Queensland, nearly her entire body was bleeding and covered in seemingly open sores. Everyone thought it was neglect, but the truth was even worse. ✿ Support Adoptadane Rescue Queensland ➔ https://www.paypal.me/adoptadanerescue ✿ Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss a single PAWsitive story! ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe ✿ Follow PAWsitive on our socials: Subscribe ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Facebook ➔ http://bit.ly/PawsitiveFacebook Twitter ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveTwitter Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/pawsitivechannel/ ✿ Crew http://www.memetics.tv/ ✿ Music Purchased through Premium Beat - https://www.premiumbeat.com/ "Prelude No.6" by Chris Zabriskie Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License The song was not modified in any way.

Full Story: Darla was only 2yrs old when she was brought to Adoptadane Rescue Queensland. She was suffering from a common, highly treatable skin condition called demodectic mange, which had covered a large percentage of her body. In what looked like a severe case of neglect, was actually unfounded. Darla's previous owners loved her very much, this was not a case of neglect, more misdiagnoses from the vets she had attended. In fact, Darla's family had gone to multiple vets for a second opinion. Unable to get the right diagnosis and treatment, Darla's health worsened. Eventually, veterinarians told her family that she would need to be "put down." Loving her too much, they reached out to Adoptadane for help. Feeling responsible and guilty for her condition, they relinquished her to the rescue asking them to save her. They did. For 6 months, Darla went without proper treatment, her health deteriorating. Within 2 months of treatment of salves, baths, medications, Darla had fully recovered and was adoptable. In fact, soon after she was deemed healthy, she was adopted by Terri who loved her until Darla's recent passing in late 2016.

Word is among cat lovers that you don’t choose a cat, it chooses you! It doesn’t happen often that an adult feral cat decides to join you in your adventures in life, so when a one does happen to come over for a cuddle and a scratch, be sure that this feline trusts you completely! Cats can be excellent judge of character and this feral toyger proved just that! Leo was a street cat that has always known what he wants. Roaming the streets of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, all the cat wanted was to find a warm and loving home. But it isn’t easy for the cats on this Turkish city’s streets. So instead of waiting to be rescued, he took matters into his own hands. When an animal rescuer came to feed him like she usually does, the cat decided that he will not be staying on the street in Ankara no more. He climbed the hood of rescuers red FIAT car and went straight inside through the open window on the driver’s side. The cat then stayed with the rescuer until he got adopted ! Who says that there are no happy endings in life? What did you think of this video? We would love to hear what you think so please do not hesitate to leave a comment down in the comments section! Please share this amazing moment with your family and friends as it will surely make them smile! This is one video that you are not going to want to miss! Rumble is brimming with videos of cute kittens and every video is becoming an almost instant sensation. There are tons of channels dedicated only to the purring creatures. They have eclipsed the space of social networks, there are oceans of ​​groups of feline lovers, which in fact are the most popular forms of online networking of pet enthusiasts. People who have not been dragged into the pool of kitty veneration, are dealing with a very logical question: "What aroused such interest in these soft-furred mousers? Why not dogs? Why not birds? Or fish? Why cats? ". Both the very culprits, doing the campaigns for promoting cats online, and the viewers and loyal cat fans even though they do their best to unravel the mystery of cat interest, they cannot provide a single definite answer, apart from: "But they are soo cuuuuute - don’t you just want to squeeeeeze theeem?", "Cat is my spirit animal, and I think that half the world agrees with me", "Cats ...hmm ... I just love them!", "Cause they are so funny and adorable." Do you think it's really so simple: do cats attract us with their charming charisma? And that's all? It is totally inconceivable that a person who has Internet access and knows how to use a computer hasn’t noticed that cats have totally taken it over and rule it with supremacy! But if you think that this is a modern phenomenon - you are mistaken: not only are cat videos trending for the past 10 years, but they have been a trend for millennia. Just take a look at the drawings of cats in the Egyptian pyramids.

Boogie Shoes, the cutest Teacup Chihuahua, always looks like he's dancing, hence the name, but he's actually shaking uncontrollably from a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. The dog was turned into the shelter at 8 weeks old. The woman who dropped him off claimed to have found him in the WalMart parking lot in 110 degree heat in Palm Springs, California. While that may be true, the region is also known for back yard breeders. The shelter that the dog was dropped off at was Palm Spring Animal Shelter. Fortunately, it was a no-kill facility that works hard to rehabilitate and re-home every special needs dog. At first, it seemed this cute 8 week old pup was dancing, but the reality was much worse. He was shaking - his motor skills and coordination were uncontrolled. It was clear to the doctors there that he had an unknown neurological condition. For now, he was on foster watch. Alicia became his foster and eventually his adopter. Alicia took the dog to the neurologist who confirmed their fears. He had cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition in which the cerebellum, part of the brain that controls motor functions, did not fully develop in-utero. This condition could have been caused by genetics, a virus or malnutrition. The condition reveals itself at about six weeks of age and is permanent. While Boogie is otherwise a healthy pup, he will always have physical limitations. He can't walk on a leash, play catch or climb stairs. Even with these limitations, Alicia loves him just as he is. Please share this your family and friends as it is one that no one should miss!

It is a sad truth that so many animals live day in and day out without much hope. But what do you consider a sad life that truly turns around? We think that qualifies as a miracle, don’t you? The odds were against Kanya and her siblings, who were living on the streets of Thailand. They were going through the trash for food, threatened by starvation, disease, cars and being picked up and transported to the dog meat trade. Good Samaritans found Kanya and her nine siblings, cared for them and through generous donations from K9 Aid and LIFE Animal Rescue, the Thai litter of puppies took a 17-hours-long flight to the United States, where they will no longer face such a horrible fate. Here, Kanya’s once sad life will turn into a happy one, with a new family and lots of love! She doesn’t know it yet… Even though one step closer to freedom and love, Kanya is still a bit scared, but hopeful. But soon, for Kanya, this is what true happiness looks like! With her new forever family, safe and sound, Kanya is living the good life! It doesn’t get much better than this!

I received a phone call from Coastal German Shepard Rescue telling me that there was a “Swimmer Pup” who was going to be euthanized unless we got to him in time. They asked me to please hurry, pick him up, and begin treatment right away. Upon seeing the little white bundle of fur, my heart just ached to get him in my arms and to safety. I held him the whole ride home. He was so still, so quiet...I was concerned that maybe he was also deaf. This little puppy had the most amazing blue eyes I had ever seen. Once we were home, I began calling the little bundle “Baby.” Baby was so still, so quiet...first thing to do was to give him a feeding of canned puppy food mixed with goat’s milk. He was a very slow eater, not a good sign. Again, he was just so still. I immediately cleaned Baby and wrapped his chest and shoulders in a soft tee shirt wrap. I made him a nice soft, warm bed surrounded by small stuffed animal toys and laid his tiny body on his side, propped up with the soft toys. He immediately looked more comfortable. I slept beside him on the couch that night in case he needed me. Once at the Vet’s office, Baby was still so quiet, I held him close. the vet came in and assessed my little bundle. He had concern written all over his face. He told me we usually euthanize puppies with Swimmers Syndrome. I said “I know.” They can’t lift up off their chest, their legs remain splayed out to the side; and they can’t lift their head off the ground. His diagnosis was that his heart was weak, his pulse was faint. He was limp and lethargic. Not a good prospect for survival. He told me I can “try” my treatments and also suggested massage. He said that maybe in 3 months he may walk; but chances are he won't . . . if he survives. I immediately thought to myself “//I will see you in 10 days” ... although I didn't say this out loud. I took Baby home and started his Acuscope Sessions right away. Low and behold! He awoke the next morning “speaking” to me...wiggling his little body even trying to lift his limbs. I just know he was asking me ..."More please...More please I feel so much better . . . I'm alive, I'm here and I'm alive! Please don't give up on me." More Acuscope Therapy Sessions were in store for that day. Yes, I began his Therapy in the morning after we came home from the Vet visit. I did a series of Acuscope Treatments to promote nerve conductivity where the nerve signals emerge from between the Vertebrae along the Spine. I attached plates to treat the back from top to bottom. Each day there is more improvement, more movement, strength and activity. It really is amazing to witness how fast a little body responds once the nerve and muscle cells are given the help they need to awaken. Casper’s journey continues. I have decided to name him Casper...for Casper the friendly ghost. He is pure white, and absolutely stunning. So beautiful. He is active now, “speaking” a lot, communicating his joy of being able to move. He was adopted shortly after this last video by a wonderful young man. We have become email friends and Instagram friends so I can follow Casper’s progress through pictures. I am also invited to visit him when I am in town. It doesn't get much better than this. Changing a pup’s life forever. Finding him his “forever home” and watching him grow and thrive and become a happy, healthy, loving companion. ***All people, locations, photos, footage and logos have been used with express written consent from all parties.***

Smokey's story is about a dog that was left in a backyard to slowly die from starvation and one woman who showed true heroism by dropping everything to save him. Full Story: PAWsitive Channel and Forte Animal Rescue team up to bring this inspirational story of heroism. Darlene was getting a manicure from her usual nail technician – a woman she liked and had been visiting for years. The woman told her about her son's unwanted puppy, a dog he refused to provide food, water and shelter. Darlene assumed the technician was feeding the dog when in fact Smokey was slowly being starved to death. The manicurist finally confessed that she wanted to “put the dog down" but didn't want to pay the $200 fee to do so. Darlene, an animal lover not an animal rescuer, requested a photo of the Smokey. What she saw was an emaciated, sad dog. “Something out of a concentration camp." Darlene dropped everything and went to the technician’s home where she found Smokey, who was barely able to walk and unable to even eat the food she offered. She dropped some unkind remarks to the son who couldn't care less. When Smokey was brought to the animal hospital, he was immediately put on an IV drip where he was given round the clock fluids and proper food. His blood work showed food deprivation that spanned weeks, possibly months. His digestive system was in shock. Within a month, Smokey had gained 20 lbs, going from 40 lbs to 60lbs. Forte Animal Rescue a 501 (c)(3) based in Marina del Rey, California stepped in to help Darlene with the hospital care and bills as well as to re-home Smokey. His vet bills amounted to thousands of dollars of which Darlene and the rescue took care of. Today, not even a year later, Smokey is recovered and lives in Los Angeles with a wonderful family. He is fed. He is loved. He is home.

🐶 Bella is made of true grit. Two broken elbows can't keep this Pug down! Her story will inspire you. 💕 #pawsitivestories #dogs #pugs ✿ Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss a single PAWsitive story! ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Full Story: According to Gwenn of Pug Nation, Bella looks like she's part penguin, part seal and part Pug but in truth she's all dog and just wants hugs and kisses. Bella didn't always look this way. She was likely born from breeding. Bella did have a family but they had difficulty caring for her. When she first broke her elbow her family took her to the veterinarian who was able to fix it. He told the family to keep her confined, keeping the pressure/weight off that limb. For whatever the reason, they didn't follow these instructions and she re-broke the elbow. At some point, Bella's other elbow became broken and the veterinarian decided to keep her at the hospital to keep her confined so she could heal properly. Upon further assessment, the veterinarians realized the elbows were irreparably damaged. The only solution was a double amputation. The rehabilitation, the care, the cost were all unknowns for this family. They would not give their consent nor would they relinquish Bella to the hospital. For 9 long months, Bella resided at the hospital. It is unclear what her condition was like during those 9 months but the veterinarians themselves were at an impasse. Without the consent of the family, the veterinarians could not perform additional medical procedures. Finally, a volunteer at Pug Nation took notice of Bella and inquired. The inquiry lead to the revelation of her story and immediate action. The veterinarians were able to convince the family to relinquish her to the hospital and then the hospital to the animal rescue. Bella is now 6 years old. Pug Nation was able to find a loving foster/adopter for Bella almost immediately. Wendy considers Bella's welfare her top priority. Amazingly, after everything Bella has been through, she is incredibly sweet and has no idea that she is special needs: she barks at passing cars, begs for treats, asks for cuddles and loves going on walks - albeit she only walks with two legs instead of four. She does not let two broken elbows set her back. She is fast - whether she is waddling like a seal or running on two legs. Since filming this story in September, Bella has had her double amputation surgery and is now free from pain. She is doing well. She is still with Wendy who loves her unconditionally. Stay tuned for a follow up story of Bella in her new wheelchair. ✿ Follow PAWsitive on our socials: Subscribe ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Facebook ➔ http://bit.ly/PawsitiveFacebook Twitter ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveTwitter G+ ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveGooglePlus ✿ Special thanks to Pug Nation Website ➔ http://pugnationla.org/ Donate ➔ http://pugnationla.org/donate/ Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/Pug-Nation-Rescue-of-Los-Angeles-148049835236253/?ref=br_tf Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/PugNationRescue ✿ Crew Director: Hai-Lam Phan Producer: Dawn Poomee http://www.memetics.tv/ ✿ Music "Beauty Found" by Indigo Music, Premium Beat "John Stockton Slow Drag" by Chris Zabriskie Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License The song was not modified in any way.

A kitten was hit by a car which injured his hind legs, making it leap on his back hip. The kitty was found and taken to the shelter where doctors examined his medical condition and found out that he had a hole in his heart that will cut his life short. However, this feisty cat is no quitter and a year later, he is still running and fighting for life. This emotional story is real proof that cats have nine lives. Cheri, a bottle-baby kitten specialist foster at Cats at The Studios based in Los Angeles, California, thought she was just getting another kitten to foster . But when she laid eyes on Ace, a black and white six-weeks-old kitten, her heart melted. Ace had been run over by a car in Downey, California and taken to the local shelter. The doctors at the shelter did an assessment and thought amputation would be the quickest solution to the injury. A volunteer from Cats at The Studios immediately "pulled" Ace from the shelter, not knowing what to do next. Cheri fostered Ace and took it upon herself to get a second, third and forth opinion on his condition. What the doctors discovered is that Ace had an underlying, inherent heart condition . He had two holes in his heart causing it to beat harder, faster than a normal heart. The prognosis was grim. He could die at any time and the doctors told her to prepare for the worst. In tears, Cheri couldn't help but fall in love with Ace. So, like many do, she became a foster failure. It has been nearly a year since filming this story and Cheri and Ace continue to do well. Today, Ace is now a proud Foster Dad to the many, many, many kittens that come through Cheri's doors. It seems both are devoted to each other and the cause of helping needy kittens. ✿ Follow PAWsitive on our socials: Subscribe ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Facebook ➔ http://bit.ly/PawsitiveFacebook Twitter ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveTwitter G+ ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveGooglePlus ✿ Special thanks to Cats at The Studios Website ➔ http://catsatthestudios.com/ Donate ➔ http://catsatthestudios.com/donate/ Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/catsatthestu ...

It is really heartbreaking when you think of all the dogs that roam the streets, looking for someone to love them. Another rather unfortunate truth is that many of those dogs get rescued and placed in shelters, only to stay there for long period of time, not finding their forever home. This, however, is not one such story! Max, an older Shih Tzu , was found wandering the streets of Anaheim, California. He was lost or abandoned by his former owners based on his loving and trusting disposition towards people, something not many stray dogs have. When he was found, Max was looked terrible. He wasn’t exactly covered in dreadlocks , but he was dirty and somewhat unpresentable. OC Animal Care brought Max to the shelter, where older, unattractive, shy dogs are often ignored. Hollywood Groomers decided to donate four vans and the services of five groomers and in doing so saved many lives. He was brushed, his nails clipped, thoroughly bathed and given a haircut. Lastly, he was dressed up with a tie, to match his new ood looks! That day, Hollywood Groomers cut, groomed, spruced and glammed up 56 dogs who have since been adopted, including Max. Every dog deserves a second look, a second chance and a second home! Please share Max's story. You won't believe this is the same dog! His transformation is dramatic and definitely saved his life. #TransformationTuesday #shihtzu #adoptdontshop ✿ Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss a single PAWsitive story! ✿ Follow PAWsitive on our socials: Subscribe ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Facebook ➔ http://bit.ly/PawsitiveFacebook Twitter ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveTwitter G+ ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveGooglePlus ✿ Special thanks to OC Animal Care Please donate to their Noble Friends Foundation, a program that helps animals in desperate need of medical attention: http://noblefriendsfoundation.org/ ✿ Special thanks to Hollywood Rescue Grooming To help fund more lifesaving transformations please donate to: Hollywood Rescue Grooming http://www.hollywoodrescuegrooming.org/ ✿ Crew Director: Hai-Lam Phan Producer: Dawn Arunee Poomee http://www.memetics.tv/ Music provided by Premium Beats "A Brighter Day" by Heather Fenoughty ***All people, locations, photos, footage and logos have been used with express written consent from all parties.***

Joey was tied to a pole then abandoned. An unlikely rescuer would do whatever it took to save his life. Full Story: PAWsitive Channel and Forte Animal Rescue team up to bring to light this incredible story of selflessness. Lisa Snyder had fallen on hard times when she discovered Joey, a sweet Pointer mix that was tied to a tree and abandoned in Point Fermin Park in San Pedro, CA. Lisa was living in her inoperable van with her three cats. She barely had enough to survive herself, when she came across Joey. But being an animal lover and a person of faith, she knew she had to help. Lisa called the authorities, the shelter, anyone she could think of to pick up the dog but it was late and no one could make it out. The shelter suggested she drop off the dog. Lisa set off on a three-mile walk to the animal shelter. Her various medical conditions made the walk painful and forced her walk to slow. In the rush, she had forgotten her jacket and her walking stick. What should have taken an hour took all night in the rain and cold. By morning, she had made it safely to the shelter where Joey was turned in. From there, Forte Animal Rescue stepped in and provided the medical and adoption resources to re-home Joey, who is now happy, healthy and living out the rest of his doggy days with his 4 year old best friend. The community of San Pedro heard about Lisa’s selflessness and gave her a gift of their own: a $3500 thank you. If you can, please donate $5 to Forte Animal Rescue and help their cause of rescuing dogs like Joey: http://farescue.org/donate/ Forte Animal Rescue on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forteanimalrescue Twitter: https://twitter.com/ForteAnimalResq Catch up with PAWsitive socially!

A somewhat disheveled man rode his bike to the East Bay SPCA located in Oakland, California. Running beside him on a leash was Sheba, a black Labrador/Shepherd mix. She was limping on her left front leg. While she may have been in pain, she was so good-natured that she did not show it. The man knew his dog better. He told the employees at East Bay what had happened - she had got into a dog fight . It wasn't intentional - it was an accident and now she was hurt and it was getting worse. Sheba's leg was bandaged but it was damp, her leg was swollen and it was starting to smell. Signs of a serious infection. He told them he could not afford the medical care for her. East Bay offered to take her in and help her but that would mean giving her up. He knelt before Sheba and told her: "I love you. This is the best thing that I can do for you right now." Then he kissed her and left. Sheba was immediately assessed and underneath the bandage were multiple fractures to the radius and ulna. To repair the injury would mean a long and potentially painful recovery. The doctors decided to amputate her leg. According to Gwen Gadd DVM, a staff veterinarian, Sheba was on the road to recovery with nothing to hold her back. Dr. Gadd was right. Gracie is now in a loving home with Cecily and her husband. Sheba, now Gracie, doesn't even realize she has three legs. She is fast. #pawsitive @EastBaySPCA ✿ Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss a single PAWsitive story! ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Special thanks to East Bay SPCA: Subscribe ➔ https://www.youtube.com/user/ebspcavi ...

Jordan, who lived in a silent world, discovers her passion in life and finds her voice. @mychalslearningplace @AdoptNShop @FoundAnimalsOrg ✿ Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss a single PAWsitive story! ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Full Story: Jordan has been diagnosed as Autistic. She is a girl of few words and often times lives encapsulated in her own world. Mychal's Learning Place, a non-profit program that provides services for eighty, developmentally disabled students daily. They are taught how to cook, clean, do laundry, how to take the bus or use the computer -- everything you would need to live independently. But even after being with Mychal's for years, Jordan was missing something. When Mychal's partnered up with Adopt & Shop a "Pet Store With Purpose" located in Culver City, CA, Jordan finally opened herself up. Jordan has an intrinsic fondness for black cats. Every time she sees a black cat she can't help but fall in love. Words fall from lips as though she has been talking all along. "Kitty kitty kitty." Not only do her eyes light up but she can't stop smiling and laughing. When Jordan holds a black cat she looks beyond herself and her "disability" and is nurturing, outgoing and happy. As Ed Lynch, founder of Mychal's Learning Place would say, "Leave labels outside. Lets challenge, lets encourage. I can't is not an option."

From wandering the streets to being in the lap of goat luxury. #babyanimals #cute #goats Harley, the baby goat (AKA kid,) was found near a busy road and taken to animal control. When she was not claimed, the Good Samaritan who found her asked Hooves & Paws Animal Rescue, located in Little Rock, California, if they could take her. Harley is now happily living among her new family and friends at Hooves and Paws. Michele, the co-founder of the rescue, did try to reach the original owners but they did not respond. Likely, Harley was destined for the goat meat trade as denoted by the ear tag. Why she was wandering the streets remains unclear. According to Michele, she feels the owner likely dumped her because Harley is a runt and not worth the feed. Fortunately for Harley. ✿ Special thanks Hooves and Paws Animal Rescue in Little Rock, CA Website ➔ http://www.hoovesandpaws.org/ Donate ➔ http://www.hoovesandpaws.org/donate.html Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/hoovespawssh ... ✿ Follow PAWsitive on our socials: Subscribe ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveSubscribe Facebook ➔ http://bit.ly/PawsitiveFacebook Twitter ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveTwitter G+ ➔ http://bit.ly/PAWsitiveGooglePlus Website ➔ https://pawsitivestories.wordpress.com/ ✿ Crew Director: Hai-Lam Phan Producer: Dawn Poomee ✿ Music Creative Commons Attribution music by Josh Woodward "Bonjour Mon Amie" (Instrumental Version) by Josh Woodward You can download the song here: https://www.joshwoodward.com/song/Bon ...
